Castillo de Boltaña, Medieval castle in Boltaña, Spain.

The castle stands on a hilltop north of the urban center, featuring a pentagonal wall structure and a prominent tower at its northern end.

The fortress, built during the reign of Sancho el Mayor around 1045, served as a strategic defense point between Christian and Muslim territories in medieval Spain.

The castle remains demonstrate the influence of Lombard architectural styles, with local craftsmen incorporating regional building techniques in its construction.

Visitors can explore the covered cistern with its half-barrel vault, which remains one of the most preserved structures within the castle complex.

The castle provides views of the Ara and Cinca rivers' confluence, surrounded by the geological formations of the Sobrarbe UNESCO Global Geopark.
